Drogheda vs GalwayPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Drogheda United and Galway United meet in the FAI Cup quarter-finals, a straight knockout round where league standings do not apply. Drogheda arrive off two straight defeats, to Dundalk and St Patrick's Athletic, following a 3-0 win over College Corinthians and two scoreless draws, one of them against Galway themselves. Galway drew their last game with Shelbourne after an away win over Dundalk and two draws, with Bray Wanderers and Bohemians. In head-to-head meetings Drogheda have won two of the last five, Galway one, with two draws; the most recent meeting, in August 2026, finished 0-0. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
